Though initially trained as a Jedi Padawan, Asajj Ventress switched her green-bladed lightsaber for a pair of red-bladed curved-hilt lightsabers during her years as Darth Tyranus's apprentice.[5] Throughout her time in service to the Sith cause, Ventress utilized her lightsabers in several capacities—as her master's emissary[12] and assassin,[13] as well as a militarycommander of the Separatist Droid Army.[12] She fought a number of Jedi on several occasions with varying degrees of success, such as Kenobi, Skywalker,[14]Luminara Unduli, and Ahsoka Tano.[13]

Ventress retained her Sith lightsabers after Tyranus discarded her on the orders of his master, Darth Sidious, and continued to use them as a Nightsister[15] before pursuing a career as a bounty hunter.[16] Both lightsabers were lost when the fallen Jedi Barriss Offee ambushed Ventress in the Coruscant underworld and took possession of her weapons,[3] consequently forcing the bounty hunter to acquire a replacement.[5] Offee was later forced to use Ventress's lightsabers when Skywalker confronted her in the Jedi Temple, and thereby revealed herself as the culprit responsible for framing Tano.[3]
